In spite of Chiefs being out of the race for Appollis' signature, MC Alger has made several offers to Rise and Shine, yet no deal has been reached between the North African club and Appollis' current club.
The impending scenario has opened a window for Amakhosi, who have long admired the speedy winger and are desperate for a marquee signing after missing out on Elias Mokwana.
Also, they narrowly missed out on Khanyisa Mayo, who joined Algerian champions CR Belouizdad.
The Naturena-based side first expressed interest in the player in January, according to KickOff.
Motaung confirmed unofficially that he had held talks with City about signing Appollis, despite no formal offer being made.
On MSW, Motaung Jr said, "Oswin is a top talent.".
I don't know any club in the country that wouldn't want to sign Oswin.
In addition to fulfilling the supporters' wishes, we know that in order to achieve our goals, we need the best talent.
The best I can say is that he is a top player, and we are working tirelessly to recruit top players.
"We would love to have him, we have said it before. We have talked with the chairman of Polokwane City [Johnny Mogaladi], not only about Oswin but also about other players, and I believe that the process is ongoing," he added.
On Tuesday, Appollis scored a brace to help Bafana defeat South Sudan 3-2 in an AFCON qualifier.
